Helvetica Condensed is the typeface used for Horses, the debut album by Patti Smith, produced by John Cale and released on November 10, 1975, on Arista Records. From Wikipedia:

Horses has since been viewed by critics as one of the greatest and most influential albums in the history of not only the American punk rock movement, but also of all time.

Most of the back cover is set in all lowercase letters. The images show the German release.
